CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Korite International LP (KORITE) announced today the launch of its Chinese B2C e-commerce platform. Through this store, KORITE will offer Chinese consumers the opportunity to purchase one of Canada's most iconic products; one-of-a-kind Ammolite gemstones and fossils mined almost exclusively by KORITE in Alberta.
